Here's a tip:

Call up the Keyboard Shortcut Dialog, then click the Show Set button. It creates a temporary plain text file, with all of your current keyboard mappings, and automatically open it in your system's default plain text editor. You can then use the Search function (usually Cmd+F or Ctrl+F) to locate the required function by name — they are listed by “Product area”, which is the same one as in the drop-down list.

It's so convenient it's not even worth the trouble to save this document — just call it up again if you want to modify another key.

It never ceases to amaze me how many functions InDesign actually has. On my system, this file has 1,565 lines! No wonder they had to stuff some of the functions into not-really-obvious places.
